Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

StringThat's the kind of wind we get out here on Az. Today I played around with the upper or front spreader, it adjusts on the one I got. In very light swirly wind the kite would actually stand at attention 25' straight over my head. I got multiple circles today and it's a gas watching it glide upwind over your head until you pull it back. There is a learning curve! it takes really light movements on the lines, and getting your body into the right position, forcing it pulls the wind out and it falls. There's quite a bit going on to make these fly right, I've got a lot more respect for Bell for sure. I can fly it in my back yard and that's a definite plus. Don't know if stacking them would be as much fun Alfredo, maybe as the skills improve there could be something there. I love to see a video of some stacked ones.

Like Thief's, mine came from KTAI, and also has the hole for the spreader instead of the dihedral. Sounds like they also listened to the feedback and got rid of the weight, really no loss there. Can't wait to run into one of the production models on the field though, to see if the new spreader design makes much of a difference.

Not sure yet on the frame but have a bunch of 2P skyshark rods, maybe for the spine and wing tips. Will have to go with something more flexable for the main and lower dihedral pieces. Will have to dig thru my rods.

Some gentle home flying testing on the big Laima. Winds have been rough all weekend. Wonderful glide though and nice and stable. Nice slow rotations like a Laima in slow motion. Rods are a bit small. Will probably have to go up some.

Park:did you put in the second lower dihedral like on the newest generation? Did you make that slide-able as well???hmm...the shape is a neat neat shape...and it looks like you got it scaled up perfectly!!!
